The 2016 Australian Open ended Sunday in Melbourne with a familiar outcome: Novak Djokovic winning the men’s singles championship. The world number one continued his dominance of the game, and particularly his dominance of Melbourne Park, with a straight-set win over Andy Murray, in a rematch from the 2015 final. It’s the Serbian’s sixth Australian Open title, and his fifth in six years.

Sunday’s match was a reverse of sorts when compared to the 2015 meeting between Djokovic and Murray. Last year, Murray fought hard early, taking the first sets to tiebreaks and winning the second. However, Djokovic proved too strong in the third and fourth sets, barely needing half an hour to close out the fourth set 6-0. This year, the top seed cruised in the first set, before winning the second and third sets 7-5 7-6.

While Andy Murray is considered one of the “Big Four” in tennis – along with Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal – he has struggled to win major tournaments. He does have two titles – the 2012 U.S. Open and Wimbledon the following summer, but has often fallen short against his “Big Four” rivals. Part of this has to do with the others excelling on certain surfaces; Djokovic has mastered hardcourts with his success in Australia and the United States, while Nadal has often been called king of clay (the surface for the French Open), and Federer has mastered grass for more than a decade. Murray is stuck in an unfortunate scenario where he happens to be competing alongside three of the greatest players in men’s tennis history. In another era, he’d be the revered figure of the sport.

What’s next for Novak Djokovic? He turns 29 in May, around the time Roland Garros will start. The French Open is the only major he has yet to win, having fallen in the final each of the past two years. If 2016 is to be the year where Djokovic completes the career Grand Slam, he’ll have plenty of challenges to face in Paris.
